Takeaways from preseason game 2

[WNCRavensFan]

Agreed. Adalius Thomas was super-athletic, who come to mind when using that phrase amongst Ravens.

Roderick Green. Light bulb never came on for him though.

You said he was overpaid but now you’re taunting his salary as proof that he’s irreplaceable lol

Its just football talk guy no need for that kind of behavior. You know very well i meant within the current roster. You dont win anything no one is keeping score. You think Za wont be missed with the current roster, I do. Hope youre right.

I honestly have Antoine Wessley making this team now. He and Jaleel Scott are WRs 5&6. I don't see Seth Roberts making the team and neither should he. I think a WR Corp of

Boykin, Hollywood, Snead, Moore, Scott, and Wessley

Sets us up for the future.

Maybe but I would still take Roberts over Wesley if the season started today. Wesley isn’t an ST guy, we have young talent at WR, it’s a long season and Roberts has shown the savvy and willingness to do the dirty work as a blocker.

If Wesley makes this team, barring injuries, I don’t see him active for more than half of the games.

I also think it will be easier to get Wesley onto the practice squad. Does anyone know if Ezeala is exempt from the 53 man roster? How does that international player rule work?

#Ravens RB Justice Hill forced 9 missed tackles on 12 touches this week vs GB. Mark Ingram hasn’t forced 9 missed tackles in a full game in nearly 5 years.

Crazy

That's mental.

He's going to be a freak.

Are missed tackles and broken tackles the same thing? Because I’ve seen Ingram bulldoze his way through numerous would-be arm tackles. Ingram seems to be a yards after contact hammer, while Hill is more the “you ain’t gonna make contact” type.

When we drafted Hill (2019 - 4th round) I thought "we have enough RBs, why not an Olineman?" Later in that same round EDC drafted Ben Powers. Then I looked deeper, starting with 2018 (Ozzie's last as GM) saw the offensive plan emerge : LJ (QB), Hurst and Andrews (TEs), O. Brown/Senat/Bozeman and Powers (Oline), Hollywood/Boykin and J. Scott (WRs). Hill's speed, elusiveness, and excitement fit right in with our young, deep, and dangerous (assuming positive development) offensive corps. I am quite optimistic... Bc

Maybe but we have to balance the present a bit too. Roberts reportedly impressed in camp, I’m not cutting him just cause he got hurt.

I wonder if Roberts can’t go to open the season, if they don’t go with Floyd over Wesley (or just go with 5 WRs until Roberts is ready) solely to see if we can’t hide Wesley and stash him on the PS

According to that same guy in the comments, Ingram was top 15 in evaded tackles per touch last year. So that makes this all the more impressive.

Couldn’t be more impressed with Hill. I knew he was fast but did not expect that technical running ability that he showed in terms of running at angles in short windows (a la LeVeon Bell), exploding through the hole (a la Maurice Jones-Drew), and converting speed to power when finishing runs (a la Ray Rice). His vision is also outstanding. Has shown ability to “create” blocks for himself by misleading linebackers and safeties with patient running before planting his foot and accelerating through the line.

Combine that with his natural instinct to run moves (like the high step) that alter his acceleration without changing forward progress and you’ve got yourself a truly electric runner.
